Title: Systems and methods for synthesizing gps measurements to improve gps location availability
Inventor: XIE GANG
IPC: G01S19/47
Filed: 2008-11-05
Abstract: There are situations where GPS signals are received from less than four satellites. In order to improve the GPS location availability, disclosed here are systems and methods for synthesizing GPS measurements, which, together with fewer than four available real GPS signals, can be used to calculate a position fix. In particular, GPS range measurements for lost satellites, which are satellites that were previously tracked but are now not tracked, are synthesized to improve GPS signal availability, The synthesized measurements are used along with real measurements to enable accurate position fix even when GPS satellite availability is poor. Different synthesized measurement generation schemes, depending on whether an INS/DR aiding system is available, are further described herein.

Title: Diagnostic system with predicted problem cause feedback
Inventor: SCOTT KEN
IPC: G07C3/00
Filed: 2012-04-19
Abstract: A machine diagnostic system processes data from one or more machines to identify events satisfying predetermined event conditions indicative of faulty operation, and for each identified event generates an event signature using data associated with the event. The event signatures are then analysed to generate data identifying a prediction of the cause of a fault. The generated fault prediction data may be output to a machine operator to take appropriate action. In an embodiment, each possible event signature is mapped to corresponding fault prediction data in a fault prediction database. Preferably, fault correction data indicating an actual cause of the faulty operation and successful remedial action taken for an event is received by the machine diagnostic system and the fault correction data for the event signature corresponding to the event is updated to take account of the received fault correction data. The machine is preferably a vehicle which collects operational data and transmits the collected operational data to a remote machine diagnostic server which completes the diagnostic analysis and communicates with maintenance workshop servers, vehicle operator servers and back-up servers.

Title: Barrier cable gland
Inventor: LACKINGER NICHOLAS FRANZ EDWARD
IPC: H02G15/04
Filed: 2012-05-30
Abstract: A barrier cable gland has an inner tubular body 5, which screw-threadedly engages an outer tubular body 7 and/or a union nut 14. A compression seal 13 engages the cable sheath 9. The open end of the inner tubular body is turned uppermost and a curable liquid two component resin mix is introduced into a cavity defined by an inwardly directed surface of the inner tubular body and the compression seal at a lower end thereof. A release layer or film is applied to the inwardly directed surface. The resin mix may be introduced by way of a double syringe wherein each of the two liquid components of the resin is separately packaged in a syringe barrel and an elongated mixing nozzle is fitted to the double syringe to effect mixing as resin components are ejected into and through the mixing nozzle. The release layer or film prevents the resin from bonding to the inner tubular body and so allows the gland to be inspected.

Title: Auto focus method using focus statistics
Inventor: FOOTE WILLIAM
IPC: G03B13/36
Filed: 2012-05-30
Abstract: A method of performing an auto-focusing process comprises changing a focal length of a camera device whilst capturing one or more frames of sensor data from a sensor array of the camera device by sequentially reading signals from different areas of the sensor array such that different sections of each frame correspond to sensor data captured at different focal lengths of the camera device. A plurality of focus statistics are then derived from the one or more captured frames, each focus statistic providing a measure of an extent to which a section of a frame to which the focus statistic relates is in focus at a given focal length. An optimal focal length at which an optimally focused image can be captured is identified from the plurality of focus statistics and the focal length of the camera is adapted in accordance with the optimal focal length.
